While there are many tools that attempt to hide and anonymize ones profile or web footprint, data obfuscation takes a different approach. Data obfuscation in our context is the deliberate additions of ambiguous, confusing, or misleading information to interfere with surveillance and data collection. Rather than hiding, we corrupt our ‘profile’ data with false positives. The extensions below will search the web and ‘click’ every ad (behind the scenes, it won’t interfere with your browsing) On the individual level this will begin to corrupt the data profile big tech has on you. In the broader context, this will diminish the effectiveness of online marketing and profiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
